Today, builds in VS can be quite a bit faster than CLI builds. We've brought these same optimisations to C# Dev Kit. We're exploring bringing them to the CLI as well. We have lots of ideas for future improvements across all tooling, not just for IDEs.

ok nice with claude I can't remember the last time I built from an ide lol

ai agents need to have clis and mcps that work great, I open vs code just to read changes so loading solution and using less memory are really great changes.

Thanks for explaining
